()Chapter 1: Strange city, different, her past

"スヨン,スヨン..."

In a small room, a girl with long hair knelt in front of a small bed, trying hard to call another girl sleeping on the bed, trying to wake her up. The futile attempt made the long-haired girl frown even more.

Marina Takahashi often feels uneasy these days, not only because of the bad news that Mr. Kawamura indirectly revealed recently, but also because of the abnormal performance of her Korean teammates.

Because of the 2002 Japan-Korea World Cup, TV Tokyo responded to the craze for Japan-Korea cooperation and held a special audition event for the Japan-Korea duo competition. There were 8,698 Japanese contestants, 7,194 Korean contestants, and high

Hashimari broke out from the 15,000 girls and formed an international youth girl group with a girl from another country who won together. After a short period of training together, they successfully started recording the first ep.

Just like the title of the ep "Start", this seems to be the beginning of a classic star dream.

To this day, I still remember the excitement of getting the newly printed ep demo and the infinite longing for the future. However, for more than a year, I participated in various programs and recorded three eps. My teammates even not only

They photographed the fashion inside pages of the May issue of Cheongsam Society's "Melon" and became an exclusive model for Chubbygang magazine. However, all these seemingly fulfilling things could not conceal their failure as a singing group.

Feeling the increasingly strange looks in the eyes of the company's employees and the increasingly rare appearance of Mr. Kawamura Ryuichi, the dream of the past year seems to have come to an end.

I raised my head and saw the new single promotion poster that had been put on the bedside of my teammates for a while. Different from the colorful girly atmosphere of "ワクワクit'slove", the two girls on the single poster this time suddenly

Growing up. Takahashi Marina looked at herself wearing a student skirt and an open jacket under the cold tone, standing quietly on the street. Under the short hair that was dyed and messed up, she looked straight ahead with a seemingly serious look.

On the left side of the poster, the teammate is wearing a slim-fitting knitted three-piece suit, paired with distressed jeans that cling to her legs, showing off the slender figure of a girl model. Her head tilted slightly to the right seems to be asking the camera, looking unruly.

Chinese style.

Her teammates liked the feeling of this poster shoot very much. In her words: "This reflects our fashion sense as an exclusive model." However, what impressed me more was her next words after a brief silence, "If music also has

This kind of progress would be great..."

Although I had this idea at the time and thought so when I started recording, I still tried my best to smile and comfort this Korean sister who was one year younger than me. I comforted her against my will and said that as long as there is progress, it means that the company is improving, maybe,

Music teacher Kawamura will give us a different surprise next time.

Maybe...hey...against my will.

Yes, against my will. In fact, I don’t like this poster at all. The two people on the picture have indifferent expressions as if they are saying goodbye, and the brows covered by the shadow of their teammates seem to be questioning the people outside the picture. The two people no longer

As close together as before, they were strangely separated. Even the big "routeφ" in the middle could not connect the two girls together. The bold logo was placed there, not like a bridge, but more like a pair of pairs.

The big white hands pushed the two people away from each other.

Yes, the two girls on the poster seem to have grown up all of a sudden. When they grow up, they no longer believe in fairy tales.

Takahashi Marina has always been self-conscious. She should be more ladylike in her daily activities, think more before saying anything, and pay more attention to her Korean sister. In this way, as a Hokkaido girl, she

I have been thinking about it before doing it for a year, and I don’t know how many things I have said against my will. All I do is hope that I can do my best to help my group.

However, now it seems that the reality is cruel, just like those bad premonitions at the beginning.

Although the production team added more fashionable elements to the packaging this time, the mediocrity of the song still made this ep disappear from the public, quickly. When recording the tongue twister behind the title song "painting" - yes, she even

I was embarrassed to admit that I was rapping - the feeling was already so strong. But I still persisted in recording, and worked hard to cooperate with my teammates to add more joyful feelings to the tone of my words. Looking back at my teammates on the bed,

I believe this careless girl is actually the same as me, and she must have felt this way in her heart at that time.

Marina brushed away the wet hair from her teammate's forehead. Although the girl was deeply asleep, her expressionless face vaguely revealed a struggle. Thinking of the face that always faced everyone with a bright smile,

Now that her brows were tangled even in her sleep, Marina couldn't help but feel a little heavier.

She has no doubt about the hard work and strength of her teammates. She came to a distant and unfamiliar country at such a young age and began to learn all the strange things in this strange country. Although she has never been seen complaining, even if she is tired

The sign is that she no longer laughs loudly with her mouth open. She closes her mouth, purses her lips, and only the corners of her mouth are still slightly raised, and then hides aside silently. Marina has tried to comfort or tease her teammates at such times.

Have fun. But every time when she walks into her teammates and sees her skillfully checking her mailbox, browsing Korean web pages, or watching Korean program videos with headphones on and laughing out loud, she feels, this

Sometimes it is better to leave this Korean teammate alone and have some quiet time.

Whenever her Korean senior Boa came to visit her, she could feel that she was unusually excited like a burning fire. She kept talking around her senior, chirping in Korean. Until the senior slapped her on the forehead and asked

She would talk in Japanese, and then she would shyly stick out her tongue and stay quiet for a while. Then she would immediately start chattering again in stammering Japanese.

In this way, she would remain completely silent until the time of separation, hugging senior Boa tightly, whispering something without expression, saying goodbye, and watching senior's nanny car disappear in the distance. Looking back, everyone saw

I still have that bright grin on my face. "raidol duet", and then decided to make a debut. It is already such an amazing thing. But my teammates seem to be even more amazing. I came to a foreign country and basically learned Japanese in such a short time.

, and even gradually became familiar with Japan. What are other brats at this age still doing? Speaking of which, the parent company of the teammates before their debut was really cruel, and the little girl who looked like bean sprouts just dropped it like a courier.

ri is here. What's the name of the company, s·m? I remember the first time I heard the name, I couldn't help being surprised, and the first time I teased my teammates about this topic. The tall and thin girl suddenly

He jumped up and said, "S·M is the abbreviation of starmuseum~!! Star Museum, Star Museum~!! Do you know hot, ses, boa, myth, do you know~!!!" He looked anxious, now that he thinks about it

It's really kind of cute.

However, it is estimated that it will be difficult to see this cute look again in the future.

The sales of this ep were very poor, and there were almost no announcements about the group's shows. Both of them were worried. Some time ago, a teammate even fell down hard during practice and was unconscious on the spot and was sent to the hospital. The past few days of training were originally

The occasional two-dimensional photography notices that I could receive also stopped completely. My teammates didn’t say anything after they woke up. Although they would still smile when facing people who came to see them, as if nothing had happened. But that bright feeling was no longer there.

Sometimes when I see the girl’s calm face sitting alone on the hospital bed through the glass of the ward door, I feel a little strange and scared.

Come back soon, I really miss that tall and thin girl who laughs heartily.

"スヨン,スヨン~!"

Marina felt that just calling was useless, so she reached out and grabbed the girl's shoulders on the bed and shook her vigorously. After shaking for a few seconds, the girl suddenly sat up suddenly, which made Marina, who was not mentally prepared at all, be shaken.

He was so scared that he sat on the floor.

After the girl sat up, she remained expressionless for a while. Then, she started to move her body strangely. First she moved her arms, then her palms and fingers, down to almost every joint. Then she started.

Twisting her head and neck, bending her torso at various angles. After being silent for a while again, she lifted the quilt and began to touch her long, straight and thin legs with her hands. As her fingers kneaded, her legs began to move.

Start slowly making various weird postures.

Marina admitted that looking at the scene in front of her, she felt a little scared at this time.

Suddenly, the girl who was still moving her legs jumped out of the bed and stumbled awkwardly when she landed. Then she rushed into the bathroom with a frown and a careless look.

Although, she was just a little scared - well, that's what she thought - Marina quickly stood up and ran to the bathroom. Standing at the door, she only saw the girl holding one hand on the bathroom sink.

She was facing the mirror and pulled her face with one hand. Her face was tightly close to the mirror, as if she wanted to get in. She was muttering something in a low voice. It seemed, it was not the familiar Korean language.

…

Marina leaned against the door and watched like this, and found that the girl was pulling her like no one else, as if she didn't want it to end for a while. Finally, she couldn't help but yelled out the anger that had been building up since she fell to the floor.

"Ah, Cui Xiuying, is this your new method of teasing people~!!?"

This sentence seemed to wake up the girl in front of him, and she took a step back in a daze, as if she wanted to fully observe the image in the mirror in front of her.

There was another brief silence, and then the girl made a move that made Marina feel like she was about to faint.

The girl unzipped her pajamas, then stretched her hand to her crotch. Just when Marina slapped her forehead and was about to cover her eyes, she vaguely saw the girl's expressionless face, and her lips seemed to be opening and closing.

A two-syllable word.

"wokao..."

ps: In fact, based on the video data, Sooyoung was very shy at the beginning when she first debuted, which is what a 12-year-old girl should be like. There may also be some changes in the time and date of some activities, but here is completely
